Exploiting sorghum genetic diversity for enhanced aluminum tolerance: Allele mining based on the Alt SB locus

Abstract Root damage due to aluminum (Al) toxicity restricts crop production on acidic soils, which are extensive in the tropics. The sorghum root Al-activated citrate transporter, SbMATE, underlies the Al tolerance locus, Alt SB , and increases grain yield under Al toxicity. Here, Alt SB loci assoc...
